I am very proud of u Voicing you...Well Done Sabria! I am very proud of u Voicing your concerns regarding women and their state here - but whose gonna take action - this is sich a male dominated society , so orthodox and ancient still.<BR/>i wuz shocked to see they actually arrested this women - how do u think this country will progress with these unreasonable rules and ridiculous regulations with regards to women only.<BR/>we r so oppressed - and we cant do anything useful even if we want to - its like our roles have been predefined. only if u r filthy rich can u afford the freedom of some activity in the compound accomodations - other than that u r confined to the four walls of ur home .<BR/>Alteast in a community like this - companies must encourage work at home jobs for women - so they dont lose their sanity - but for that - we might have to meet the male employer for that ! lol! <BR/>useless!Nafisa Rafihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01547048760085437751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6197893319710396244.post-74432837813187982212008-03-21T16:05:00.000-07:002008-03-21T16:05:00.000-07:00Most persecution - whether religious, racial or po...Most persecution - whether religious, racial or political - is engendered by fear and insecurity. <BR/>To me (an American woman) the apparent repression of Islamic women on purportedly religious/moral grounds appears as simply the fear and insecurity of the males who dominate the religious leadership (and would like to have even more power). <BR/>Men who are secure in their own being have no need to require women to be subservient, are not afraid of being diminished by a woman's equality or accomplishments, and view partnership as a means of increasing the strength of both the man and woman.<BR/>I've sometimes wondered why I don't see (Muslim) female protesters in the news - ah, but it's difficult in my soft, rural, secure environment to even comprehend the possible consequences.<BR/>But the pitiful, tragic excesses of patriarchal religious zealots are no different be they Islamic, Christian or some other male repressive fundamentalist group.<BR/>It has nothing to do with God or Allah - but everything to do with some men's petty weakness and feelings of impotence.DesertHorseshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13230748414450244363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6197893319710396244.post-45410734714012922162008-02-14T16:53:00.000-08:002008-02-14T16:53:00.000-08:00Good luck, Sabria.
